I went to see Mr Back Quack just now and according to him, my entire body is suffering as a result of being “locked up” for many years and my rigidity/immobility has caused me to feel like an old woman 
See? I TOLD you I sometimes feel 77!! I wasn’t just imagining it …
And he’s convinced I MUST have injured myself somewhere along the line because “it’s just not normal!”
Anyway, normally he would see me in about 6 weeks, but he reckons I’ll need to go back to him in 2 weeks, perhaps even before then.
And, get this … I have to do yoga. Meh.
“Oooooooohhhm”
Hmm I am doing pilates which really seems to help.
My Dad suggested Pilates too, but I must admit to being a bit afraid of that – the photos I’ve seen make it look like some kind of weird torture session! But I won’t close my mind to it – I’m willing to go check it out
Check out the Pilates!!! You wont regret it.
Yoga is very good but I think Pilates would be the best for your alignment problems.
I’ll check it out
Do. The. Yoga.
I promise you, I have never looked back. Its so relaxing. And not nearly as hippie as I imagined.
Do Both! I’ve started Yoga AND Pilates and they both freaking rock. Your gonna use muscles you didn’t know existed. seriously look into both. Another one to look into is Tai-Chi
Don’t discount Yoga. It’s a great way to strengthen and balance your body. I have a bad back from rugby at school and Yoga saved my sanity when I was in the army. Pilates is supposed to be great for this too. I know a great Yoga teacher and a Pilates teacher, so if you need some numbers/contact info let me know. They are not the same person.
I agree with StevenMcD, do both and see which one works for you. It will also be a great way of getting out the house and meet new people. I think you need to exploit every and any opportunity to break from past habits and cycles.
@SheBee … I can do relaxing
@StevenMcD … you’ve surprised me!! I would never have thought of you as a Yoga or Pilates person
@BigFriendly … your last sentence is 100% accurate my friend. 100% …
